The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A top-down twin-stick shooter where you repeatedly blast through enemy-filled space arenas, growing stronger each run through upgrades and currency grinding.

What players say

Players are split on Nebula. Some enjoy it as a cheap, fun bullet heaven with solid meta progression and weapon variety. Others find it extremely grindy with a frustrating auto-aim system and gameplay that feels bland compared to other games in the genre.
